1.2 System Overview
The iNetVu™Mobile Satellite Internet system is an automatic scanner, polarizer and beam positioning
system for a foldable two-way satellite antenna. It has been designed to automatically find and acquire
the satellite beam and the position based on both a GPS position reading as well as other positioning
parameters. It is targeted for mobile users that require high speed Internet access in remote locations
where cable and DSL do not exist. It provides two-way, high-speed data communications over satellite.
iNetVu™ empowers mobile users with the ability to stop anywhere there is Satellite coverage and
access Internet at broadband speeds. The iNetVu™ Mobile application consists of the iNetVu™ Mobile
software 7710 software (for the 7700 Series Controller)

specifications.
•The system will automatically find any satellite from any point on the Earth within its coverage
area.
•Displays comprehensive information about the satellite, dish, motors, GPS, compass, control
